The Gather & Grow meeting originally planned for Wednesday, March 5th, from 8 am to 9 am has been cancelled due to severe weather warnings predicting high winds and the possibility of tornadoes tomorrow morning. 

Officials from Richland School District Two and the South Carolina Emergency Management System have decided that these weather conditions pose a significant risk to the safe operation of school buses.  Consequently, Richland School District Two will experience delays in operations, and school buildings will be closed, with no access permitted.

Although we regret having to cancel the Gather & Grow meeting, the safety of everyone involved is our top priority. As we work on alternative arrangements, we will keep our partners, award winners, and local businesses who registered to attend informed. We aim to reschedule the presentation of the Educator Excellence Award with District Two and the AI session with Alex Moore soon. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility during this time. We look forward to welcoming you at our upcoming regularly scheduled meetings listed below. Thank you for your continued support.
